This week I have mainly been listening to "Your Song" By the Dells!

Northernsoul Anthems can get a little tiresome some times, "Your Song" is one of those geniuses tracks that just makes me feel happy and dance like a nutter!!!

He's a really nice bloke really.

Agree with you both, great tune from one of the greatest, if not the best harmony groups.

The Dells really are up there with ANY of the Soul group greats for me..

Not got a great deal of the Dells on vinyl so I purchased the Give Your Baby A Standing Ovation Best Of Double CD and this is one of those I am always playing in the car.

"Closer " and "dont want nobody" what a group !

DON'T TRICK ME, TREAT ME. ON THE LOVE CONNECTON LP FOR ME

'It's all up to you' is one of my all time fav's. Just stunning!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a real crossover track I reckon, crossover in the sense that I can put that on a CD for my 'non soul mates' and they all love it, and yet still captures something when they ask 'what is northern soul' - the breaks, the crescendoes, the harmonies, the way the track builds and uplifts, so if that what Imber means by 'anthemic' soul, this is one of them

I know you shouldn't start a thread but what would the Dells track be that I use to play on the Modern scene?

From their '83 album (possibly)??

Morecambe Pier time.

All About The Paper

Don't Want Nobody : The Dells

Fabulous uptempo 45 release off the Dells' LP on Private Eye records from 1984.

Was quite popular as a modern track at Stafford mid 80's, if my memory serves me right ...

And to double up on the soul power , the flipside of the Don't Want Nobody 45 is a brilliant deep tune called You Just Can't Walk Away !

The Dells track that does for me is "Life Is The Time" Shivers down the spine everytime Marvin Junior's vocals come in!!!

All About The Paper

from: I Touched A Dream Album 1980

Vividly remember Colin Curtis playing "All About The Paper" at Cassanelli's, alongside the re-recording of "Be Thankful For What You Got" by William DeVaughn on TEC, (mainly because I rushed over to the decks to find out what they were!).

"Your Song" was also played on the "Funk" scene as new if I recall correctly. Both later came out on UK 12". Franky, I'm astonished that "Your Song" is so expensive nowadays - it can't be due to "rarity"! Of the two, I prefer "Don't Want Nobody" as I find the melody to "Your Song" to be a bit irritating. (Sorry!)

I was up in the Alps (Avoriaz) about 10 or 15 years ago, in a 'civilian' night club, and they played a French language version of this. I remember thinking this sounds great, not recognising it till the chorus.

Worth looking up.
